Chapter 9 Diagnosis : A High - IQ Maniac Chapter 9 Diagnosis : A High - IQ Maniac Could it really be like Mr. Ibis said ? A system bug in Hell Corp ? +5 Free Coins Mandy stood there , quietly observing the black fog above the hospital for over ten minutes . It didn't move . Didn't shift . Nothing unusual - yet it still unsettled her . John arrived late , disappointed to find that Mandy had made it to the hospital in one piece . He'd spent the entire drive hoping for a car crash - but no such luck . As planned , he brought Mandy in for a " routine " exam - focusing specifically on mental health . Brain scans revealed abnormalities . They ran an IQ test too , and the results were shocking : 160 . That wasn't just smart - that was genius - tier intelligence , the very top of the human bell curve . John couldn't brush that off . He quietly called the doctor in for a private conversation . " Doctor , are you sure the results are correct ? That IQ seems ... too high . " The doctor adjusted his glasses , eyes gleaming with excitement . " Mr. Tate , these results are accurate . There's no mistake . Her brain volume is larger than average . A 160 IQ is completely plausible . " " But she's been acting so erratic . Like she's lost her mind , " John said . The doctor nodded knowingly . " There's a fine line between genius and madness . People with extremely high intelligence often operate on a level the rest of us can't comprehend . It's normal for them to behave ... differently . If you're worried , we can run another test to assess her mental stability . " Since they were already there , John agreed . The next round was a behavioral assessment - Mandy was given a series of seemingly simple multiple - choice questions . No instructions . No context . But Mandy wasn't stupid . She had a pretty good guess what this was really about . Her so - called father was scheming again . She calmly picked up the pen and answered every question according to her own instincts , not caring in the slightest what they wanted to hear . In the office , the doctor looked over her answers , his expression darkening as he shook his head . " Mr. Tate ... the results are in . Unfortunately , Mandy's psychological distortion score came out at 98 % Her violence index ? 80 % . She's essentially indistinguishable from a psychopath . " John's jaw tightened . He didn't buy it . How could someone that calculating - a girl who threatened to get married , demanded things , and manipulated the family - be crazy ? But she seems so normal . She doesn't act insane at all . " The doctor was unfazed . " Insanity isn't about appearances . From a clinical standpoint , her mind is already unwell . Think of it like a form of dissociative disorder . I suggest everyone in the household be extremely cautious around her . She could snap at any time ." John asked , " What caused this ? " " Could be genetic . Or trauma - induced . " 1/3 P P Chapter 9 Diagnosis : A High - IQ Maniac Trauma , huh ? +5 Free Coins John thought back over the past six months - Jade nearly died giving birth to Mandy . And in the time since Mandy returned to the Tate family , she'd been verbally abused almost daily . Could years of pressure and neglect have pushed her over the edge ? No use airing the family's dirty laundry . John gave the doctor a wad of hush money and left with Mandy . Watching her peel off in the pink sports car again , he quietly made up his mind . She was already insane . Now he just needed to make that public knowledge . Once the Yale family canceled the engagement , he could have her committed without backlash - and save the family's reputation in the process . Back home , Mandy ignored everyone and locked herself in her room . Over the next two days , she completed a full set of architectural plans for a commercial district . The Yales were hosting a design competition - and she intended to win . At Yale Corp ... Austin had been reviewing submissions for days . None of the entries impressed him. " You've had three days , and this is what you bring me ? " he said coldly . Grant cast a sharp glare at the project manager . " Sir , these are the best of the best . Maybe your standards are too high ." " I don't care . I want a design I'm actually satisfied with . " The manager could only wince . Suddenly , another employee burst in , laptop in hand . " Mr. Yale ! A new entry just came in - and it's stunning . You've got to see it ! " Austin didn't expect much . But when he opened the file - his breath caught . It was almost exactly what he had envisioned . The only flaw ? It included the city's old district - something that wasn't part of the project's scope . Then he noticed the name on the entry . Mandy . He smirked Of course . Just a naive little girl , trying to push her own agenda . Grant asked , " Sir , do you like the design ? " " It's not bad . Contact her . Ask her to remove the old district section . " " Understood . " Back at the Tate family estate , Mandy was about to rest when she got the call . 2/3 P Chapter 9 Diagnosis : A High - IQ Maniac +5 Free Coins " Ms. Mandy , we've reviewed your design . We're asking you to remove the old district section . Would you be able to revise it ? " Change it ? Over her dead body . " You can either accept my design in full or forget it . I'm not changing a thing . " If she removed that part , her adoptive parents ' neighborhood wouldn't be included in the redevelopment - and they'd never agree to move out otherwise . " Ms. Mandy , that area isn't within the planned development zone . You just need to delete it- " " I said no ." " Ms. Mandy- " Sir , she refused . She won't make any changes . " That stubbornness piqued Austin's interest . " Leave it for now . " " Yes , sir . " Back at the Tate residence ... John gathered the family to share Mandy's test results . Yvonne looked shocked . " Dad ... she's really insane ? " John nodded solemnly . " The doctor said she could snap at any time . Don't provoke her . " " I understand . " Jade muttered bitterly , " So now we've got a certified lunatic in the house ? Just great . Send her to a hospital already . I can't stand the sight of her . " Who could ? John replied . " We will send her away . But not yet . First , we let everyone know she's unstable . Once the Yale family calls off the engagement , we can have her committed without backlash . It's the only way to protect our name ." Jade frowned . " But how do we let everyone know she's crazy without exposing ourselves ? "
